Why do people insist on playing the same exact map, almost exclusively, for 10+ years?
dust2 fags arent the only people I'm talking about, it happens for different games as well.

Can anyone explain the logic behind this?
>>
>>334623072
they want to be comfy and not think too much

same concept as tv and most entertainment
>>
Because at least with dust2, it's a near-perfectly balanced map that doesn't truly favor one side or the other. Unlike gimmick maps like train or militia or office, there's nowhere to sit around and casually pick off players besides the one shot from T spawn, which still provides barely any visibility.

In short, people don't want to mess with perfection. At least, until they get into fy_poolday.
>>
>>334623803
D2 is T favored, there is no way for CTs to rotate in time. The most balanced 1.6 map is inferno.
>>
>>334623072
Fucked if I know.
Its a litmus test for me, if you like dust 2 you go away.

That doesn't properly explain why some people play one map exclusively for over a decade.

You were so sure of your answer too weren't you? Learn to read before making yourself look like a retard.

Yes it does. You may not like this explanation, but I honestly don't care.

IDK some maps are more fun than others, every good fps has these types of servers, even console fps has the same thing, I remember playing the same maps in R6NV for months and I still play cs office exclusively

That's your perception of Dust 2, I was waiting some actual criticism, especially in comparison with other maps

office is objectively the best CS:S map

>>334625305
>but I honestly don't care
Why is it that everyone who says shit like this always cares enough to respond?

Look, dust2 and office aren't the only maps in CS with a lot of players in them. Just because someone likes a map, doesn't mean that they like it enough to play it for 10+ years. So "people like it" and "people play it" isn't an explanation, because it applies to most maps in any given FPS game.
Hell, 2fort in TF2 has a lot of players in it, has people who have played it for nearly 10 years, yet most people agree that it's a shit map.
>>
>>334626201
>cs:s
>hostages map
worst taste
>>
>>334626256
Just because I care to end the argument doesn't mean I care whether you think my argument is valid.
>>
Because if there was a new map, then people who have been playing for 10 years won't have an advantage over everyone else, so they won't play it.

Its really flat. I like nuke way better cause it has a more of a "height" to it.

Why do mmo fags like raids?
Why do Dark Souls fags keep buying the same game?
Why do Neptunia fags buy re-releases of the same game?
Why do Sonic fags buy the same game 20 years after the franchise died?
Why do Sony fags keep buying Playstation after all the failures and betrayals?

Humanity never changes.

I wonder the exact same thing with Nintendo. Especially after the Wii.

>>334623072
CS fags are only good at CS. Game is fucking retarded.
Likewise, they can only memorize a single map.

rofl this guy is so butthurt

and there's nothing wrong with dust 2, but there is something wrong with playing it exclusively i agree. it's not like the other maps are horribly imbalanced or anything, the problem is >>334625797

people just bitch constantly unless the map is dust 2, but there are still good servers with a ~5 map rotation where the clan members and admins don't kowtow to randoms crying for them to change to dust 2.

To be fair , Dota 2 has Custom games you can play if you dont feel like playing Dota.
Not sure about LeL or HoN.
I think LoL had other modes with 1 or 2 lanes i believe
Even Heroes of the Storm has some variatons.
